In COC, he is reported to have said, (quoting from memory, so I may be a little off) "We didn't come here to have you teach us, Brother Franz." From that remark, I gather he chaired the judicial committee?
Given his first name, I assume he's Black. I googled his name and found a Theotis French who works for the City of Gadsden, also a Theotis French who graduated from Litchfield High School, Gadsden, Alabama, 1984 - I would think that would be a son or younger family member?
I realize some on here believe I can't see beyond race, but I detect a powerful symbolism in having a Black man (if, indeed, he's Black) play a key role in taking down WT's number one nemesis.
Though he didn't mention it in his book, I'll bet it wasn't lost on Ray Franz either.
